The Green Book: Guide to Freedom Smithsonian film screening and discussion panel
The Oklahoma History Center will screen the Smithsonian film The Green Book: Guide to Freedom on Saturday, February 22, from 1 to 3 p.m.
The Negro Motorist Green Book was a travel guide first printed in 1936, during the era of segregation. During the Jim Crow era, the Green Book was used by Black travelers to find restaurants, hotels, and other businesses that would welcome them without discrimination. It became a roadmap for safe passage within a then-segregated country.
The film screening and discussion is for ages 18 and older. The cost is included with admission to the Oklahoma History Center Museum. Registration is preferred but not required at okhistory.org/tickets.

Iman: Two Journeys of Faith, Rooted in Oklahoma’s Heartland film screening and discussion panel
On Thursday, April 10, the Multicultural Office will host a film screening and discussion panel for Iman: Two Journeys of Faith, Rooted in Oklahoma’s Heartland. Check in begins at 5 p.m. for the screening and panel discussion that will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. The panel will consist of the film producers and other individuals involved in the project and moderated by Dick Pryor, general manager at KGOU Public Radio.
About the film:
Iman: Two Journeys of Faith, Rooted in Oklahoma’s Heartland is CAIR’s first documentary that features the untold story of courage, faith, and resilience in the face of rising hate. Told from the perspective of two American Muslim women, this film explores their separate journeys into faith and how they became leaders in their community in America’s heartland. It shines a light on the history of Islam in Oklahoma and the challenges posed by Islamophobia in a post-9/11 world. More than just a film, it’s a movement—a tool for educating, healing, and bringing communities together. This film is partially funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities’ United We Stand initiative, and Oklahoma Humanities made funding possible. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or Oklahoma Humanities.
